• Ji Wuchang killed Huang Rongcai in an instant, collected his storage ring, and returned to his courtyard as the spectators and Jiang Tihe marveled at his speed.

After the Dark Night Gate left, Yi Nixue invited Ji Wuchang, posing as Jiang Qiye, to join the Cold Twin Gate, but he refused. Suspecting the ancient-tomb objects he bought had drawn a Supreme’s attention, he decided to search the Ice and Snow Sect for a teleportation array before a looming upheaval began.

• Ji Wuchang returned to his room and resolved to search the Ice and Snow Sect for a teleportation array the next day, fearing a great upheaval was approaching.

Ji Wuchang explored the Ice and Snow Sect while searching for its teleportation array, then faced Yi Nixue’s probing questions about his identity and received another invitation to join the Cold Twin Gate. Yi Nixue suspected that Jiang Qiye resembled Ji Wuchang, but her companions dismissed the possibility.

Ji Wuchang watched the Ice and Snow Sect’s competition while remaining wary of the Dark Night Gate and the sect’s Supreme-protected summit. The contest stopped when Supreme Daxuan appeared in the sky and demanded that Yin Shanghe come out, leaving Yin Zhiqing and the other Supremes facing the return of an enemy believed to have died.

• Ji Wuchang observed the competition platforms and the Dark Night Gate delegation, led by the dangerous Zuo Xiaoping, while keeping three trump cards against Supreme experts.
• A mass of dark clouds covered the sky, and Feng Taicang rose to challenge the visitor.
• The clouds formed an enormous face, and Supreme Daxuan demanded that Yin Shanghe come out, overwhelming Feng Taicang with his presence.
• Yi Zhenggang and Fang Yanlong recognized Supreme Daxuan and recalled his past feud with Yin Shanghe and his battles against the Ice and Snow Sect, the Thousand Mortals Sect, and the Cold Twin Gate.
• Yin Zhiqing appeared beside Feng Taicang, questioned how Supreme Daxuan could have returned after supposedly dying, and sensed a conspiracy and coming storm.

Supreme Daxuan interrupted the Ice and Snow Sect’s competition, then the Myriad Souls Hall arrived and demanded the sect submit as part of its plan to unify Mang Province. Yin Zhiqing refused to decide without consulting the absent ancestor, and the chapter left a battle seeming inevitable.

• Supreme Daxuan appeared and threatened to destroy the Ice and Snow Sect unless Yin Shanghe came out, while Ji Yaoyao warned Ji Wuchang about his strength.
• A flying boat and a warship carrying Myriad Souls Hall members arrived, making Yin Zhiqing and the gathered cultivators uneasy.
• Wengu Qingyang identified himself and demanded that Yin Zhiqing submit the Ice and Snow Sect to the Myriad Souls Hall.
• Yin Zhiqing stalled, saying the sect’s absent ancestor would need to decide, but Wengu Qingyang pressed him for an immediate answer.
• Ji Wuchang recognized Wengu Qingyang as a member of the Myriad Souls Hall’s ruling lineage and judged that Yin Zhiqing would not surrender the sect’s legacy.

Wengu Qingyang rejected Yin Zhiqing’s appeal for peaceful coexistence and called on Supreme Daxuan to attack the Ice and Snow Sect. The sect’s defenses endured repeated assaults, but Supreme Daxuan’s thirty-kilometer saber strike left the barrier and its elders under severe strain.

• Yin Zhiqing refused Wengu Qingyang’s demand that the Ice and Snow Sect submit to the Myriad Souls Hall.
• Wengu Qingyang summoned Supreme Daxuan, prompting Yin Zhiqing to retreat inside the sect with Feng Taicang and activate its strongest defensive formation.

• Yin Zhiqing told Yi Zhenggang that he had sent a message to the sect’s ancestor, but did not know when the ancestor would return.
• Supreme Daxuan formed a thirty-kilometer saber and slashed through Yin Zhiqing’s shield into the sect’s barrier, injuring the elders who sustained its defenses.

Yin Zhiqing and the other sect leaders sent the Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators out to fight the Myriad Souls Hall after its attacks threatened the Ice and Snow Sect. The battle spread across the region, and Wengu Qingyang grew stronger by devouring fleeing Primordial Spirits.

• Yin Zhiqing asked Fang Yanlong, Yi Zhenggang, and Zhang Xiaozhi to help defend the Ice and Snow Sect, and Zhang Xiaozhi proposed that all Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators attack the enemy.
• Yin Zhiqing killed a Celestial Phenomenon Realm eighth-level cultivator who refused to join the fight, forcing the remaining cultivators to follow him outside the barrier.
• More than a hundred Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators joined the battle, while Ji Wuchang noticed that Yi Nixue, Yin Shaofan, Lu Qingfeng, and Long Yanshuang stayed behind.
• Yin Zhiqing fought Supreme Daxuan, while Fang Yanlong, Yi Zhenggang, and Zhang Xiaozhi struggled to hold off a Supreme Realm third-level expert; the Celestial Phenomenon Realm forces battled the Myriad Souls Hall to a stalemate.
• Wengu Qingyang swallowed two fleeing Primordial Spirits, rising from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm fifth level to the sixth and then increasing his presence further.

Ji Wuchang copied Yin Zhiqing’s Ice Barbarian Battle Body Instruction as the Ice and Snow Sect battled the Myriad Souls Hall. Wengu Qingyang unleashed a terrifying auxiliary Myriad Souls Banner, and Ji Wuchang learned that Wengu was likely one of the Hall’s three young masters.

• Ji Wuchang copied Yin Zhiqing’s Ice Barbarian Battle Body Instruction for 1,800 Fortune Points and learned that it grew stronger in extreme cold but drained its user.
• Yin Zhiqing refused Wengu Qingyang’s demand that the Ice and Snow Sect surrender, and Wengu threatened to destroy the sect.

• Ji Yaoyao told Ji Wuchang that three auxiliary banners had been tempered from the main banner and could unleash Quasi-Saint Weapon power when wielded by Supreme Realm Ninth Level experts.

The Myriad Souls Hall attacked the Ice and Snow Sect, but its banner was checked by the sect's ancestor, triggering a fierce battle. Ji Yaoyao identified the ancient tomb as likely connected to an Ancient Saint and warned Ji Wuchang that the Myriad Souls Hall might bring in more experts to seize its passage.

• Ji Yaoyao concluded the ancient tomb might belong to an Ancient Saint and that the Myriad Souls Hall sought control of a passage connected to it.
• Ji Wuchang asked how to kill Wengu Qingyang quietly, and Ji Yaoyao warned him against provoking the Myriad Souls Hall.

As the Ice and Snow Sect’s battle against the Myriad Souls Hall reached a stalemate, Yin Shaofan rallied more than six hundred Dao Severing Realm cultivators to join the fight. Ji Wuchang slaughtered Myriad Souls Hall fighters outside the barrier while Yi Nixue watched his chain technique closely, and Lu Qingfeng and Qiu Rumeng faced new enemies together.

The Ice and Snow Sect fought back against the Myriad Souls Hall, but Wengu Qingyang used the Myriad Souls Banner to destroy their ancestor’s phantom and slaughter their cultivators. After Yin Xiaofeng sacrificed himself and Yin Shaofan tried to kill Wengu Qingyang, an old woman revealed Supreme Realm Fourth Level power, leaving the battlefield in despair.

• Long Yanshuang, Yi Nixue, and Yin Shaofan fought Myriad Souls Hall cultivators as reinforcements from Snow River City helped the Ice and Snow Sect gain the upper hand.
• Wengu Qingyang activated the Myriad Souls Banner’s Myriad Souls Eye, dissipated the Ice and Snow Sect’s ancestor phantom, and killed several Celestial Phenomenon Realm and Dao Severing Realm cultivators.
• Yin Xiaofeng attacked the banner, but its enormous black-mist claw caught him, so he self-detonated and destroyed countless remnant souls before dying.
• Yi Nixue told Yin Shaofan to kill Wengu Qingyang, and Yin Shaofan sent an ancestor’s freezing bead toward him.
• An old woman beside Wengu Qingyang crushed the bead and unleashed Supreme Realm Fourth Level pressure, killing nearby cultivators and forcing the battlefield to retreat in despair.

The Myriad Souls Hall threatened Mang Province’s three faction ancestors with its Supreme Realm fifth-level expert and demanded their surrender. Amid the standoff, Yi Nixue identified Ji Wuchang and guessed he had come for the Ice and Snow Sect’s teleportation array; the ancestors rejected the demand and asked for another condition.

• Ji Wuchang and the gathered factions were shaken when another Supreme appeared beside Wengu Qingyang, but the ancestors of the Thousand Mortals Sect, the Ice and Snow Sect, and the Cold Twin Gate arrived to challenge the Myriad Souls Hall.
• Wengu Qingyang demanded the ancestors submit, then summoned the Myriad Souls Hall’s Fifth Elder, whose Supreme Realm fifth-level pressure stopped the fighting and forced both sides to gather with their allies.
• Ji Wuchang retreated into the crowd and exchanged voice transmissions with Yi Nixue, who recognized him as Jiang Qiye and guessed he had come for the Ice and Snow Sect’s teleportation array.
• The Fifth Elder recalled the Myriad Souls Banner and renewed the demand that the ancestors surrender or be captured in it.
• The Ice and Snow Sect’s ancestor refused to accept the terms and demanded another offer.

The Myriad Souls Hall’s Supreme Realm fifth-level expert trapped the Ice and Snow Sect, Cold Twin Gate, and Thousand Mortals Sect ancestors inside the Myriad Souls Banner, where they struggled against its remnant souls. Supreme Daxuan revealed that the Hall controlled him with a Puppet Mark, then turned on Wengu Qingyang after being denied his freedom, drawing a threat from Wengu Qingyang’s burly guard.

• The Myriad Souls Hall expert attacked the three sect ancestors with the Myriad Souls Banner, and they joined forces to resist its enormous red skull.
• The ancestors destroyed the skull, but the banner swept them inside and began forming a dangerous array of remnant souls around them.
• Supreme Daxuan cried out in pain and demanded that Wengu Qingyang honor his promise to remove the Puppet Mark.
• Wengu Qingyang refused unless Supreme Daxuan killed the man surnamed Yin, accusing him of holding back in their earlier fight.
• Supreme Daxuan charged at Wengu Qingyang, and the burly man beside him revealed his Supreme Realm fourth-level pressure and challenged him.

Supreme Daxuan attacked Wengu Qingyang and unleashed Supreme Disintegration, killing a Supreme Realm fourth-level cultivator and leaving Wengu Qingyang and his burly protector badly injured. The battle continued as the Ice and Snow Sect’s ancestors fought the Myriad Souls Hall’s Supreme Realm fifth-level cultivator.

• A burly Supreme appeared beside Wengu Qingyang and attacked Supreme Daxuan with an enormous iron staff, while Supreme Daxuan countered with his saber.
• Wengu Qingyang used a scripture to make Supreme Daxuan’s red skull mark flare, prompting Supreme Daxuan to declare that a Supreme could not be humiliated.
• Supreme Daxuan unleashed Supreme Disintegration, engulfing Wengu Qingyang and those nearby in a devastating explosion.
• The old woman’s Primordial Spirit fled the blast, but the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Ferocities appeared and devoured it.
• The Myriad Souls Hall’s fifth-level Supreme swept Wengu Qingyang and the burly man from the mushroom cloud with the Myriad Souls Banner, then battled three sect ancestors.
• Yin Zhiqing used a Supreme Weapon handkerchief to shield the Ice and Snow Sect from the blast, while Wengu Qingyang and the burly man emerged grievously wounded.

Yin Zhiqing and the Ice and Snow Sect’s allies pressed their attack after Supreme Daxuan’s self-detonation weakened the Myriad Souls Hall, while Ji Wuchang killed several enemies and prepared to target Wengu Qingyang. The Cold Twin Gate arrived to reinforce the Ice and Snow Sect, but a concealed Myriad Souls Hall Supreme joined the fight against its master.

• Yin Zhiqing, Feng Taicang, Yi Zhenggang, and Fang Yanlong led the allied cultivators in a renewed assault on the Myriad Souls Hall.

• The Cold Twin Gate’s master arrived with reinforcements, prompting Wengu Qingyang to regard the newcomer with murderous intent.
• A concealed Myriad Souls Hall Supreme Realm first level cultivator joined Wengu Qingyang’s guard and attacked the Cold Twin Gate’s master.

Ji Wuchang searched the Ice and Snow Sect's main hall for a teleportation array and found it behind a barrier in the forbidden grounds, beside a powerful chained beast. He negotiated with the beast for safe passage, and it agreed as the battle outside continued to favor Myriad Souls Hall.

• Ji Wuchang absorbed a wisp of Supreme presence into his earthenware jar and searched the main hall for a way out of Mang Province.
• Ji Yaoyao sensed a teleportation array behind a barrier and warned Ji Wuchang that a beast as powerful as a human Supreme Realm cultivator was nearby.
• Ji Wuchang entered the forbidden grounds, where the Glacial Glazed Fire devoured the extreme cold Qi surrounding him.
• Ji Wuchang found a chained beast beside the frigid pool and learned from Ji Yaoyao that the teleportation array lay behind it.
• Ji Wuchang offered to free the beast in exchange for its promise not to attack him, and the beast nodded.

Ji Wuchang and Ji Yaoyao prepared to free the ferocious beast by melting its rule-bound chains while repairing the teleportation formation. As the Glacial Glazed Fire drew in the pool’s cold Qi, Ji Wuchang endured an intense battle of heat and cold inside his body and discovered that it was strengthening his physique.

• Ji Wuchang used a puppet clone to approach the freezing pool while his true body hid a thousand zhang away, and Ji Yaoyao shielded the clone with her soul power.
• Ji Yaoyao explained that she could sever the four rule-power chains or Ji Wuchang could melt them with the Glacial Glazed Fire, and she warned that the teleportation formation also needed repairs.
• Ji Wuchang chose to melt the chains and repair the formation at the same time, fearing that stronger members of the Myriad Souls Hall would soon arrive.
• Ji Wuchang spoke to the ferocious beast, which withdrew its pressure and allowed him to proceed.
• Ji Wuchang sent the Glacial Glazed Fire to the pool as Ji Yaoyao began repairing the teleportation formation, and the flame enveloped the four chains and devoured the cold Qi.
• Ji Wuchang circulated the purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art as the cold and heat surged through his body, forming a painful internal battle that left his physique growing stronger.
